WElsER AND THE COURT.

An Alleged Explanation of the Defeat
of the Warehouse Bill,
The Bismarck correspondent of the st.
Paul Globe, gives plaoe.to the following
relative to the Yankton-Mitche court
fight:
Councilman Weiser is probably the
widest man to-day in the Dakota legis
iature. A few days ago he introduced q
railroad and warehouse bill into the
council, giving power to q certain ex-
tent to control the management of ware
houses and railroads to the railroad COM
%missioners, and compelling the railroads
to build side tracks to the warehouses of
farmers along the line of the road. This
bill was given its second reading and
referred to the Judiciary committee. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Weiser was as
sured that his bill would be rushed
through the council with o whoop by
the Yankton people if it would stand by
them in holding the United States court
and help kill the court removal bill The
Yankton people deny this. However.
it is a fact, and one that puzzled
his friends in the third house, that Mr..
Weiser voted with the south throughout
the fight owe Smiths motion yesterday
to take the court bill from the hands OF
the Judiciary committee. Last evening
the Mitchell men and north Dakota peo-
pie were trying to get Weiser to stand
with them, but he refused to do so, and
is said to have told his solicitors that
they had "peeped too late" These
north Dakota men who stood together
are o firm and rsvengeful set and when
one OF their number is found straying
from the fold they resort to extresnities
to whip HIM into line. And this is
about the treatment that Mr.. Weiser
received to-day, for his bill was reported
by the committee, the rules sus-
pended and the bill put on its passage.
1t was killed very dead, and Mr.. Weiser
is not in o humorous mood while the
Mitchell men and north Dakota repres-
entatlves, who are helping them, are
quietly grinnIng up their sleeves and
look over to the disconnected Meiser as
ii to say lyon wont. will your" 1t was
thought that the judiciary committee
would refuse to comply with the de-
mand of the council to report the
Mitchell court removal bill until they
choose to, as they had the measure in
their possession, and the Only way the
council could get it out of their hands
would be to call IN the militia,
but it is given ont to-day that the bill
will be reported tomorrow, and if it is
their will be the liveliest cat haul that
has yet marked the proceedings of this
body. The Mitchell faction has about
given up the hope of the bill passing,
though Mentzer, being q little fighter in
the house, claims that he is still conf.
dent OF a victory. Even it the bill passes
both houses it will have to be approved
by the governor before it becomes a law
It will probably be given to Gov. Church
instead OF Acting Gov. M~cOarmack, and
the chances are that he will approve the
bill if he is given an opportunity.

EDlTORIALLY EXPRESSED.
TURNED ON SPRINGER.

A good many Republican papers are
Of late sufficiently intermittent in their
vituperative effuSions directed at Com
missioner SPARKS. to devote share TO
Congressman SPRINGER. The immediate
provocation is the interview credited 10
him in regard to Dakota matters, and
his opinion that congress Will readily
admit Dakota as one state or with dlVlS-
ion on the Missouri. This latter scheme
has for years been advocated by papers
at Aberdeen and Mandan, but has never
secured much attention. All the river
towns that ever expect or hope to have
capital honors are naturally bitterly OPP
posed to it. and they can hardly find
words vigorous enough to indicate the
measure of their dislike to Mr.. SPRINGER
for countenancing it. There is no
question that the Illinois con-
gresham is correct in sappos-
ing that the people of Dakota
would accept either of the propositions
named. 1t would be difficult to devise a
scheme that insured early statehood
that would be rejected by popular vote
in Dakota. Even this Missouri river
line, when fairly considered, would be
found to have merits. 1t would divide
the territory into two pretty nearly
equal parts, taking into the state east OF
the river about seven-eights of the pop
ulation, and leaving west little but the
mining regions on the western border
across the Sioux reservation, and some
stock ranges, which would have little
need of state organization for many
years. The state east of the river would
be shaped much like Minnesota and
have common interests in all its parts
The only chance, however, for consider
alton of its merits would be the submis-
sion of the proposition to the people.
which does not now seem to be a very
probable event.

GOOD AT CALCULATION.

1t is a faVorite recreation of Dakota
boomers to work over, parade and COM
pare with some of the states, figures
furnished by the census takers or assess
OrS. The pride taken in this sort of
exhibition of material and other de-
yelopment iSlaudable and quite natural.
There is pious qualification in knowing
that Dakota has SOL Sunday schools,
while New Jersey has but 100, or more
preachers, churches and schools than
either of a dozen states. In every line
of development the figures are full of
material to round periods and eXhilarate
the minds, of the DOMAINS and PLUM
lMERs. By the census taken two years
age. Dakota had about the population of
Minnesota fifteen years previous,
and if Col. PLUMMER is good
prophet it will have over 100000
in. the census three. years from now.
This would require an addition
Of. about half million in three
years, which. would be without prece-
dent. Those who care for mere facts
find the annual increment of pOpu-
latiOn- ranging from $4,000 to $1,000,
which in the five years from 1885 to 1890
will hardly swell the 10000 of the
former year to 1.0O0,8 900, but will give
a magnificent total, one that should
satisfy even boomer. In the line of
products of the soil and stock the fig
ures are specially robust and significant.
For instance, the farm animals of Da-
kota are now put at s43, 2O0, 229, while in
1880 Kansas had nearly double the pres
ent population of Dakota and its farm
animals were but s46, S57. 243. In wheat
it is pretty we'll up to the great prairie
states with several times the popula-
ton. So with various other matters
that use large figures. The Dakota

commissioner, if the entryman intends

would object to the extension of the
